An Iranian official source told Al Jazeera, stopping the war on all fronts is the essential prerequisite for discussing any future negotiations

There is no final agreement yet, and work is underway to narrow the gap between Tehran and Washington. The positive atmosphere surrounding the diplomatic efforts is important, but it is not enough for a real agreement. Ending the war, lifting the US blockade, and ensuring the stability of the Strait of Hormuz are priorities. Releasing frozen funds and lifting sanctions on oil exports are not details for us. The Iranian armed forces do not deal with intentions and base their actions on the worst-case scenario.
